“Nobody thinks president Trump is an expert on epidemiology, but he ....” is a GENIUS!
I’ll take BRAINS over education any day.
ANYONE can get an education, you have to be BORN WITH brains.
Trump “understands” more than Fauci could ever forget.
Trump: Dr. Fauci, why can’t we use this drug combo that seems to be working very, very well?
Dr. Fauci: The FDA hasn’t approved it or done clinical trials on it yet.
Trump: F_ck that. Let’s save lives instead.
What Trump has is common sense people like Fauci can’t think unless a clinical trial or some sort of model is attached to it!! These elites are ALL idiots because they NEVER think outside the damn box if anything is outside of their damn box it is just NOT possible!! MORONS all of them!!
Trump: Dr. Fauci, can I see you in my office?
Trump: Doctor, I hear the Biden campaign is looking for medical experts. If you are interested.
This is only one of many stories regarding the success of Chloroquine or Hydroxychloroquine in treating China Virus patients although it is the first time I have seen mention of Aids drug useage.

“Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim, 51, credits antimalarial drug with being ‘secret weapon’ which aided coronavirus recovery”
Hummm Kim’s Dr gave him Tamiflu which is only helpful if given within 48 hours of on set of the flu. Either they caught it very early with Kim or his Dr was throwing everything against the wall so to speak to see if something worked. That could be the case as he was given some type of inhaler as well in addition to Z Pack and the chloroquine
Sooo Ronery!!
Dishonest article on the subject. Here is a good one:
18 March 2020
Australian researchers are set to begin clinical trials of a potential treatment for COVID-19 – using two existing drugs.
University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research Director and Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) Professor David Paterson said the drugs proved highly effective when first used against the virus in test tubes.
“We’re now ready to begin patient trials with the drugs, one of which is an HIV medication and the other an anti-malaria drug,” Professor Paterson said.
“Prior to the clinical trials going ahead, the medications were given to some of the first patients in Australia infected with COVID-19, and all have completely recovered without any trace of the virus left in their system.
“However, we know that most people with COVID-19 recover completely, thanks to their immune system, so random anecdotal experiences of some people need to be replaced by rigorous clinical trials.”
Professor Paterson said the researchers are on the verge of starting a large clinical trial involving 60 hospitals across Australia to determine the best way to use the drugs.
“This would involve comparing one drug versus the other, versus the combination of the two drugs,” he said.
“We are almost ready to go and can begin very quickly enrolling patients in our trial.
“Realistically we could be able to enrol patients very, very soon.
“This will enable us to test the first wave of Australian patients and gain real-world experience with this treatment, especially since we expect ongoing infections to continue for many months.
“If we can obtain the best possible information now, then we can quickly treat subsequent patients down the track.”
Professor Paterson said the drugs to be used in the clinical trials can be administered orally as tablets.
“Our aim is to treat patients ‘as soon as they’re admitted’ to hospital in controlled settings.
“We want to give every Australian in need the absolute best treatment we can.”
Professor Paterson has praised the RBWH Foundation and the launch of its Coronavirus Action Fund for its efforts in helping to raise funds to begin the clinical trials.

Hydroxycholorquine costs about $20 for one month's supply. It is a generic drug manufactured by several companies. It has been approved and in use since 1955 for malaria and other diseases. It is unlikely that drug companies will pay for double blind clinical trials to prove it's efficacy in view of limited profit potential, however there is strong evidence of it is effective especially when combined with a common non-pennecillin antibiotic.
Remdesivir is a proprietary experimental drug developed by one major medical company, Gilead Science. It has not been approved for use at all, but is being clinically tested, apparently sponsored by Gilead Science. Estimated cost for one month's supply is $1,000. There is a high profit potential if this drug is ultimately approved.
Is it any wonder that the drug industry is trying to slow walk the use of Hydroxycholoroquine to maintain a market for
remdesivir after it finishes clinical trials?
The FDA has long had a symbiotic relationship with the drug industry, which some might view as incestuous, or worse. It is possible that the FDA is complicit in delaying use of hydroxychloroquine to allow a window of opportunity for the profit from Remdesivir.
Chloroquines during a blood shortage such as we have is extremely worrying to me.
I agree, didn’t have a good vibe about him and was rather annoyed when Hannity featured him on his show
A different sort of secret trials than we’ve had here.
